Debbie and I worked for a time on the Council on Ministries at Stallsville UMC. She was full of ideas and enthusiasm, and she really loved her family! My condolences for your great loss .

Debra was such a nice person and a really good nurse. Remember taking her place as Staff Parish Nurse at Stallsville UMC and how organized she was. She took care of me know the ER once and was so thoughtful. So sorry for your loss. She is greatly missed.
